Layoffs and Robots - Should You Be Worried?

Squarespace had a big week. On November 2, they announced Forma, a new AI platform for building websites, apps, and agents by just... talking to it. That same week, they laid off about 19% of their staff (roughly 300 people). So naturally, we have thoughts.

In this episode, we talk about what this means for Squarespace web designers (we don't have a crystal ball, but we do have opinions). We get into whether a conversational site builder eats the low end of the market or creates more work for designers, what happens when the platform you've built your business on starts shrinking, and why every website builder seems to be making the same moves right now. Then we turn the mirror on ourselves: how dependent are we, really? And what's the plan B if things change?

And we close with a Thanksgiving themed lightening round!
